Beautiful, sexy and she deserved to die?

Hamilton Spectator

I cannot believe the editorial board of The Hamilton Spectator deemed it appropriate to publish the letter about the shooting involving Oscar Pistorius. Whatever the circumstances behind the shooting, the letter writer basically blamed Reeva Steenkamp for her own death. Let’s just brush aside the evidence of steroid use found at the home and the potential for “roid rage” or the evidence of a bloody cricket bat — she was beautiful and sexy and deserved to die. Methinks the letter writer is probably one of those individuals that believes women wearing short skirts deserve to be raped.
